Mind,Body & Spirt
Trish Melek is one of the most-beautiful souls I have ever experienced. I do not say "...that I have ever met” because spending time with Trish is a wonderful, positive vibe- as I mentioned, an experience. When we get together to talk on the phone or meet in person, time seems to speed on by. For instance, I would think that a great hour of conversation had passed, only to find that in actuality, it has been 4-5 hours. That’s the kind of energy Trish brings to a conversation.
Trish Melek has transformed herself into a beautiful goddess from the inside out. You would think that her journey should be documented in medical journals, case histories and/or books on health. And as a matter of fact, that’s exactly where you’d find her triumphant journey. I, however, heard her beautiful story, straight from the goddess herself. Before her transformation into the very Being she is today, Trish’s doctor discovered she had stage 3 cervical cancer. The prognosis of this particular cancer at this stage, carries a very poor prognosis. They quickly recommended and ordered all kinds of treatments and chemotherapies. We live in the United States and that’s what we do upon discovering illnesses and cancers here. Sadly, it’s all we know to do.
But NOT Trish Melek- noooo! She has seen what chemotherapies have done to her loved ones and decided that it would not be the route she would take. Trish had the strength and foresight to take charge of her own path, to take her own journey on her own terms. Now Trish supports any medical path that you may feel is right for you- what she chose to do was right for her. She wants to be very clear about that. What she really wants us to know is that there are other options out there to explore.
Trish Melek wants us to tap into the theory of Mind, Body & Spiritespecially when it comes to healing our bodies from deep within.
Trish Melek started her beautiful journey to healing with natural medicinal practices found in other corners of the world. A holistic approach to rid the body of toxins and disease is the route she chose to combat cervical cancer. Trish has done extensive research before, during and after her journey in her quest to restorative health.
Trish has participated in medicinal practices in Peru, Ecuador and various other regions. Some of the practices date back for centuries. She participated in methods that are not necessarily practiced in the United States.
Trish travelled to the 15th-century Inca citadel located in the Eastern Cordillera of southern Peru, known as Machu Picchu. This magical mountain ridge is now part of the NEW Seven Wonders of the World. The properties / energies found on Machu Picchu is known world wide.
In keeping with the philosophy of Mind, Body & Spirit, Trish armed herself with knowledge. This would-be goddess told me that she had to turn off the noise and be totally self-focused. Those close friends and family members that understood- great- those that did not, also great. In fact, Trish shared that she even parted with a few. Being self-focused and giving self-care is what Trish had to do. She calls it being in a bubble. She says that you really have to do what is best for yourself.
On her trips to Machu Picchu, Trish Melek worked closely with an indigenous Shaman through a guided journey of self-discovery and transformative healing. In the retelling of her story, Trish took me to the Mountain Ridge of Peru, to the very belly of Machu Picchu. She explained her beautiful journey partaking with the Ayahuasca Ceremony.
On her trips to Machu Picchu, Trish Melek worked closely with an indigenous Shaman through a guided journey of self-discovery and transformative healing. There’s a pre- prep to undergo before participating ins an Ayahuasca Ceremony. You have to drink only holistic liquids for days, show up with your Mind open, your Body prepped and your Spirit willing and accepting.
“The Shaman who is also a Pharmacologist (best of both worlds) takes us on this spiritual hike. He picks out specific leaves, herbs and roots along this walk. There’s chanting, there’s music there an experience of Mind, Body and Spirit happening.”
“The Shaman gathers the many ingredients, places them into what looks like cheesecloth and pours some water over it. The shaman then takes like a long branch and rolls the medicinal ingredients into a loose paste.”
“I was nervous, a little scared but also excited. I know that some people get violently illand that’s when it works, I just didn’t want to go through that. However, if that what it was to help me on the road to great health, then so be it.”
“We form this circle and there’s little me with like 12 people or so. I went last so that I can see how others were going to react to the ayahuasca.”
“The first person partakes into the loose paste drink and is ill immediately. The second person the same, body just getting rid of all kinds of toxins. The next person- sick. The nextsick and so on and so on.”
“At this point, I don’t know if I’m ready for this experience.”
“Now it’s my turn- here goes. I take a sip and return the cup to the Shaman. He looks inside and says, ‘No No Nooo, must drink it all.’ and he hands the cup back to me.”
“I drink it all in one full swoop. I wait for it but seconds later, I’m hearing chants, seeing Holy Visions and staring at the purist white light I have ever seen.”
“I then hear the voices of my parents and quickly realize that I am cocooned in the womb. I felt like I was floating and having the experience wash over my Mind, Body and Spirit.”
“I came back to Earth’s reality and soon realized that very moment was the best 10 to 15 minutes of my life.”
“Well, what felt like 10 minutes or so was actually 5-6 hours! I really could not believe it.”
“I am honored to say that coupled with various other holistic practices and medicinal treatments in other countries, I took me four years or so to be in remission. Now, I’ve been living a healthy life (because this is a Lifestyle Change) for the past 2 decades.”
